The purpose of this paper is to establish strong theoretical basis for solving practical problems in modeling the behavior of crowds. Based on the previously developed (entropic) geometrical model of crowd behavior dynamics, in this paper we formulate two duality theorems related to the crowd manifold. Firstly, we formulate the geometrical crowd-duality theorem and prove it using Lie-functorial and Riemannian proofs. Secondly, we formulate the topological crowd-duality theorem and prove it using cohomological and homological proofs. After that we discuss the related question of the connection between Lagrangian and Hamiltonian crowd-duality, and finally establish the globally dual structure of crowd dynamics. All used terms from algebraic topology are defined in Appendix A.

We develop a geometric representation for the ground state of the spin-1/2 quantum XXZ ferromagnetic chain in terms of suitably weighted random walks in a two-dimensional lattice. The path integral model so obtained admits a genuine classical statistical mechanics interpretation with a translation invariant Hamiltonian. This new representation is used to study the interface ground states of the XXZ model. We prove that the probability of having a number of down spins in the up phase decays exponentially with the sum of their distances to the interface plus the square of the number of down spins. As an application of this bound, we prove that the total third component of the spin in a large interval of even length centered on the interface does not fluctuate, i.e. has zero variance. We also show how to construct a path integral representation in higher dimensions and obtain a reduction formula for the partition functions in two dimensions in terms of the partition function of the one-dimensional model.

We propose an exactly soluble path integral model for stochastic Beltrami fluxes in three-dimensional space-time with a fixed eddie scale. We show further the appearance of a three-dimensional self-avoiding random surface structure for the spatial vortex loop in our exactly soluble turbulence reduced model.
